How many molecules are there in .230kg of CoCl2?

I have been trying to answer this question but everytime I get the answer it goes to 4.96e-19 or lower. I don't understand what I am doing wrong or what the right way to set up the question.

Answer:

CoCI2 molecular weight is 129.84 g/mole

230 CoCI2 divided by the molecular weight

230 g/ 129.84 g/mole = 1.77 moles of CoCI2
